Re: [LUG] Video Playing Problem

 
I found this...

The best thing I found working for Fedora is

loginctl show-session <YOUR_NUMBER> -p Type

The number to pass in is the one you get by issuing just

loginctl

Use the one with your user name.

Refer to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Wayland_problems

So, for me it is:

$ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type                                                  
Type=wayland
